President Trump unexpectedly suspended a congressional ban on TikTok due to national security concerns, allowing the app to continue operating in the U.S. This decision has garnered little opposition from lawmakers, despite bipartisan agreement on the risks posed by TikTok's ownership by Chinese company ByteDance. The reprieve, lasting 75 days, was intended to give ByteDance time to negotiate a U.S. sale. As a result, TikTok remains popular among its 170 million American users, with major tech companies continuing to support it under a promise of no legal repercussions from the government.
Despite the bipartisan consensus on TikTok's national security risks, few lawmakers have contested President Trump's temporary suspension of the law banning the app.
TikTok has remained operational in the U.S., satisfying 170 million users, while major tech companies have continued their support on the understanding of no punitive actions.
